They look like they're having the time of their little feathered lives.

top (close to the left side) corner. But, not sure how to get it all to work. It is cool, though.

If I remember from the original description he used a galvinized tray, but other material might be better sucha as in this video:

Thank you Jagg... I just went to home depot and bought the tub and then some pvc pipe.. I drilled a hole in left corner of the tub to fit the tubing through which goes into the bucket ... I drilled some holes in the pvc pipe so it shoots out of it (small drill bit) ... i used zip ties with some other holes in pvc pipe to hold it on there ...
Sorry im not the best with detailed instructions LOL ... Hopefully the video kind of helps ,, GOOD LUCK ) !!! I have redecorated their bath since this was taken ... ill have to upload the newest one


Rather than a "tub" I think she means either a shower pan or one of those trays you put under a washing machine.

Here is her video showing the details of how she made it (no narration):

Not sure I'll get around to it, but sometimes impulse takes hold! I'd love to do the "interior design" LOL

Since all the birds need water.

We did a major driveway job last winter and planted grass seed where the ground was torn up. It's been a battle trying to keep the newly sprouted grass alive. My husband has been running sprinklers almost constantly, to the point we have to plan our showers and washing and turn off the sprinklers so we have enough water pressure in the house.

Last week it was dry and temps up to 102F, higher when humidity is figured in. Over the weekend we got 3.5" of rain in one night! BUt temps are still in the 90s and not forecast to be lower anytime soon.

So I need to get bird baths out, but it's been too hot to do much of anything outside.
